The board of directors is authorized for a period of five years starting from the date of publication in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette of the shareholders’ resolution that granted the renewed authorization to increase the share capital of Galapagos NV within the framework of the authorized capital through contributions in kind or in cash, with limitation or cancellation of the shareholders’ preferential subscription rights. Said authorization can be renewed. The authorized capital of Galapagos consists of two parts. A general authorization for capital increases up to 20% of the share capital at the time of convening the shareholders’ meeting of 22 October 2019 (i.e. €67,022,402.04) was renewed and is valid for a period of five years from the date of publication of this renewal in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette, i.e. 13 November 2019. A specific authorization for capital increases of more than 20% and up to 33% of the share capital at the time of the convening the shareholders' meeting of 25 April 2017 (i.e. €82,561,764.93), was renewed and is valid for a period of five years from the date of publication of this renewal in the Annexes to the Belgian State Gazette, i.e. 31 May 2017. This specific part of the authorized capital can, however, only be used in a number of specific circumstances and upon a resolution of the board of directors that all independent directors (within the meaning of article 526ter of the Belgian Companies Code) approve. The board of directors is currently not authorized to increase the share capital after notification by the FSMA (Financial Services and Markets Authority) of a public takeover bid on Galapagos NV’s shares.

As of 31 December 2019, an amount of €67,022,402.04 still remained available under the general part of the authorized capital and an amount of €13,717,929.80 remained available under the specific part of the authorized capital.
